What am I thinking when I'm cheating on the male supporting role [Transmigration Book]

"I have my own sense of proportion." Xie Duoduo decided to look at Han Jiao: "Xiaobai, you are good at governing the country, and I am good at planning politics. God's will, I can't escape this cage. I can only settle here. It is my home and your future. My family, you asked me what I want to do, I just want to find a stable future for our family."

Han Jiao became more and more incomprehensible, and looked at Xie Duo blankly.

For Xie Duo, has the King of Yan Party threatened this much?

Now that the reserve position has been decided, although King Yan is frustrated, he is not unwilling. Maybe he has sent a message to Elder Xu Ge in private, asking him to assist Xie Duo wholeheartedly.

Even if Mr. Xu Ge's ambition is not dead, he is just a tree without roots. The only way out now is to compete with Mr. Li Ge for the trust of the new king in the future.

But now, Xie Duo is secretly cutting off old Xu Ge's henchmen, which really makes Han Jiao puzzled.

King Yan did not show any signs of seizing the throne, and as far as the relationship between his brothers was concerned, Xie Duo shouldn't have such suspicions either.

Moreover, Xie Duo's methods against the King Yan Party were even more extreme.

When the second prince's power was disintegrated before, Xie Duo only secretly provoked the struggle within the second prince's party, which led to mutual suspicion and denunciation among the party members, and finally handed over the blame to Xie Duo.

He just so quietly defeated the trust and loyalty within the second prince's forces.

With such superb political means, Xie Duo did it like a game, and promoted some second princes very generously afterward. Why did he want to eradicate it when he came to King Yan?

With Xie Duo's political talent, he shouldn't continue to suppress a party while allowing Li Ge's old forces to develop.

Although Duan Wang withdrew more thoroughly, did Xie Duo trust Elder Li Ge more than his sixth brother?

Han Jiao stared at Xie Duo, and said softly: "With you here, I don't believe that anyone can make our home unstable."

Xie Duo raised the corner of his mouth: "If that's the case, then trust me."

"Of course I believe you." Han Jiao said anxiously: "But...do we need to regard King Yan as an imaginary enemy? You know better than me what kind of person King Yan is."

Xie Duo lowered his eyes when he heard the words, and shook his head: "I don't know. I used to think I was great. If I didn't stumble, I would never know that the situation was more dangerous than I imagined."

"What crisis?" Han Jiao asked urgently, "Did the emperor's serious illness make you feel uneasy? Xie Duo, you and I, as well as your mother, sixth brother and seventh brother, they are all your closest relatives. Because of your status change, I will be separated from you."

Xie Duo's eyes were blank for a moment when he heard this, he turned his head and looked at the blue sky on the palace wall outside the window, his face showed a child's helpless loneliness, as if he was lost.

"Your Highness? Your Highness?" Han Jiao took a step forward, held Xie Duo's face in his hands, and said in panic, "What's wrong with you?" Xie Duo's expression inexplicably made him feel extremely sad, and he couldn't help but angrily said, "You're going to kill me Xie Duo! Why are you acting weird lately?"

Xie Duo regained his senses, raised his hand to hold Han Jiao's left hand that was sticking to his cheek, and said softly, "I used to think that many people favored me because I was a powerful person, and I thought that power and status were things ordinary people yearn for. I I always knew what I wanted, I knew what I was good at, and I never wanted to be tainted by things outside of me. But these days I gradually realized that I didn't care about these things because I had them all since I was a child , It’s all of these that make up the ‘Emperor Nine Sons Xie Duo’. If I lose these, who am I? I am such a useless person who is addicted to fun, why should I keep other people’s feelings for me? What about you Han Jiao, if I No, do you still like me a little bit?"

With a sore nose, Han Jiao threw himself into Xie Duo's arms and shouted angrily, "I will always, always, always like you a little bit! You are not a combination of power and status! You are very good at Cuju, and you are especially good at fighting. God of War!"

Xie Duo also hugged him, but didn't answer.

Han Jiao didn't say anything to persuade him not to target the King Yan Party.

He couldn't speak.

For some reason, Xie Duo seemed to suddenly become very insecure. He eradicated the Yan Wang Party not to target Yan Wang, but to protect himself.

Han Jiao felt that he had completely lost confidence in the friendship between himself and his brothers.

At this juncture, if he repeatedly begged him to let the Yan Wang party go, Han Jiao worried that Xie Duo would lose trust in him.

take your time...

Han Jiao is also considered a half-psychiatrist. At this moment, if he showed anxiety, he would only drive Xie Duo to the extreme.

But how to take it slow?

He was very worried that Xie Duo would be the same as in the original book, and the next step would be to sever the bond between King Yan and Elder Xu Ge and kill Liu Tong.

That means that all Han Jiao's previous efforts were in vain, and the two brothers still embarked on the path of the original book.

After thinking over and over again, Han Jiao felt that Xie Duo couldn't be forced at the moment, and he had to find another way out.

For example, disrupting Liu Tong's fate.

He decided: to persuade Liu Tong to resign and go back to his hometown!

In this way, Xie Duo would be able to prevent Xie Duo from attacking him, and King Yan would not be able to counterattack in despair.

The villain asked Han Jiao to do it, thinking that Xie Duo and Xie Guang brothers would not be able to compete with him, a small official of the Imperial Academy.

It's just that the problem is not as easy as imagined. Liu Tong is a relatively small-minded person. Before, because King Yan valued Han Jiao, Liu Tong was very dissatisfied, and he often threw face at Han Jiao in private.

Although Han Jiao wasn't too big-hearted, he was quite proud of it, so he wasn't angry, and didn't argue with Liu Tong. He always pretended to be confused and greeted everyone with a smile.

Instead of being grateful for his generosity, Liu Tong put on the airs of Teacher Yan Wang and treated Han Jiao like a human being.

It didn't matter to Han Jiao, as a counselor, of course, those who are able will live there. This is not a concubine competing for favor, and it is also a first-come-first-served basis. King Yan's respect is won by himself with his talent and learning, and he deserves it.

Thinking about it now, fortunately he didn't think too much about it before, it's always good not to offend others, otherwise, if he went to talk to Liu Tong now, there would be basically no chance of winning.

Because Liu Tong is a very face-saving person, Han Jiao's threat and oppression can only be counterproductive.

Having said that, the current state may be just right—the two have a slightly competitive relationship, Han Jiao's attitude is a little softer, and a bookish person like Liu Tong should be patient and listen to what he has to say.

After Han Jiao came out of the palace, he bought a souvenir that was not too extravagant or shabby, and went to visit Liu Tong's residence.

He didn't want to appear negligent, let alone overly attentive. To discuss matters with Liu Tong, it was best to maintain an equal relationship at all times, not flattering, nor making Liu Tong feel humiliated.

Liu Tong's mansion was even bigger than Han Jiao's house. With his salary of more than ten years as a Zhan Shi, he should not have such a family background. It is estimated that the mansion was bought for him by King Yan.

So it seems that King Yan still treats him very well, no wonder Liu Tong is so afraid of Han Jiao taking his place.

Liu Tong was very surprised by Han Jiao's visit. After all, he knew that Han Jiao had given up on the small tree of King Yan and completely went to the big tree of Prince Edward.

For this reason, Liu Tong often slandered Han Jiao's character in front of the King of Yan. He was not only happy that he lost Han Jiao, a terrible competitor, but also jealous that Han Jiao was able to deal with the three candidates for the crown prince with ease.

Liu Tong has been in the officialdom for so many years, and he has met quite a few courtiers with means, but most of these people can only show their abilities as much as possible under one master in order to reuse them, and have never seen them being vying for each other. Respected courtiers.

Han Jiao is very evil, King Yan, King Duan and King Ling all like him, and it is said that he also facilitated the reconciliation between King Duan and King Yan.

It has to be said that although this kid is following others, he is really an unbelievably capable person.

Therefore, Liu Tong was jealous and admired from the bottom of his heart, and Han Jiao took the initiative to visit, which flattered him, so when he went out to greet him, he behaved like a best friend reunited once in 30 years.

Liu Tong's enthusiasm made Han Jiao heave a sigh of relief. Since the other party intended to show his favor, Han Jiao also reciprocated the courtesy and called Liu Tong "Sir" for the first time.

He used to call him Master Liu, Liu Tong used to call him Han Jiao, and today he made an exception and kindly called him Xiaobai Xiandi.

The two asked each other how they were doing, and talked to each other about their parting thoughts that did not exist at all. Liu Tong ordered his servants to hold a banquet to entertain the distinguished guests.

Han Jiao's enthusiasm for him is a little hairy, this guy is planning to make friends with him, so that he can get close to the prince and lay the foundation for his future, right?

That would be very unfortunate, because Han Jiao came to persuade him to resign.

Han Jiao's choice of souvenirs was very appropriate, setting the tone for an equal attitude between the two parties. At the banquet, Liu Tong's attitude towards him was also the kind of measure he expected.

At first, Han Jiao said some clichés such as the impermanence of the world and the unpredictability of the king's heart, and then he praised Liu Tong's achievements in a serious manner.

Then, he praised Liu Tong as a person of temperament, such a person is the most loyal and righteous, and he is worthy of being the most trusted person of King Yan for many years.

These rainbow farts are all laying the foundation for what to say next, but Liu Tong didn't notice the difference, and he enjoyed listening to it very much, and kept wanting to toast to Han Jiao.

Han Jiao's problem of not being able to drink is really easy to make mistakes. After all, the wine table culture of thousands of years is not outdated anywhere. If he doesn't drink, it is easy to be regarded as arrogant and contemptuous.

In order to avoid Liu Tong's misunderstanding, Han Jiao sincerely described his embarrassment of crying after drinking, saying that he couldn't get out of bed for three days after drinking a glass of wine. After drinking a glass of wine in the palace, in fact it was half a glass, and he couldn't get up.

The prince was present at the banquet, so Liu Tong really believed this, and asked him to have a few glasses of tea instead of wine.

Seeing that Liu Tong's face turned a little red after a few drinks, Han Jiao worried that he would be broken like himself when he was drunk, so he hurriedly brought up the business.

Han Jiao put down his teacup, with a sad expression on his face, and said in a deep voice: "To tell the truth, although Jiao has known Mr. for less than a year, he has already admired Mr.'s virtue in his heart. For the sake of King Yan, Mr. did not hesitate to sink in Xialiao, Trapped in a corner for nearly 20 years, Jiao has long regretted Mr.

These words hit Liu Tong's sore spot, and what's even more tragic is that although he was a small official in the past, as long as King Yan successfully became the crown prince, as the future emperor teacher, it would be a matter of time before he reached the sky in one step. With the birth of the Ninth Prince, half of his life was completely wasted, and he also lost all hope for the future.

"Time is fate." Liu Tong put down his wine glass and said with emotion: "Brother Yu actually admired Brother Xiaobai a long time ago, but it's a pity that he is stupid. In this temple, there is still a person like Brother Xiaobai who has both eloquence and talent. Only then can we see the way forward.”

Han Jiao asked in a deep voice, "Excuse me for being presumptuous, sir, what are your plans for the future?"

It hurts my heart to ask this question.

Liu Tong avoided his questioning gaze, and shook his head with a wry smile: "'King Zhao's bones linger on the vines, who will sweep the golden platform', Brother Yu's official career has come to an end, but from now on he can concentrate on studying knowledge with His Highness King Yan. It's a blessing."

"Sir, what you said is wrong." Han Jiao said sternly, "Although His Royal Highness is young, his knowledge is not weaker than that of King Yan, and his nature is more decisive and decisive, and he can recognize talents from subtleties."

Liu Tong didn't know what he meant by his words, and he didn't even dare to expect extravagantly. He only endured his excitement, and looked up at Han Jiao innocently: "What do you mean by this brother?"

With a serious expression, Han Jiao turned his head and glanced at the attendant who was waiting on the side.

Liu Tong understood immediately, and hurriedly signaled his attendants to leave, leaving only the two of them in the hall to discuss secret matters.

After the door was closed, Han Jiao leaned closer to Liu Tong, and said in a low voice, "To tell the truth, Han came to disturb the door this time, in fact, to relieve His Royal Highness' worries."

Liu Tong asked in surprise, "What worries does His Royal Highness have?"

He actually wanted to ask, "What does this have to do with me?" The prince is worried, and Xu Ge, Li Ge, and a group of old foxes around him are all sharpening their heads and vying to relieve the prince's worries. Method?

Han Jiao said solemnly: "The prince's worry is that he suddenly manages the government, but he has no foundation in the court. I don't know who he can trust."

Liu Tong wondered why Han Jiao came to tell the story, but he looked anxious for the prince, and sighed: "Your heart is unpredictable, His Royal Highness is really defenseless, and you need to be patient and cultivate your cronies. Fortunately, Xiaobai Xiandi is following around, so he can relieve His Highness the Crown Prince's worries."

Han Jiao shook his head: "Please think about it, Mr. Han is appointed by the emperor as Zhan Shi of Prince Ling's Mansion. If His Highness just came to power, he would continue to promote his teacher, which would definitely attract criticism. Han still has a long way to go in his official career, and now he is only a fifth-rank official, he has no right to participate in any major government affairs, and he can't relieve the prince's worries at all."

Liu Tong showed embarrassment: "This is indeed a problem. Brother Yu also wanted to share the prince's worries, but he couldn't get in the way."

Seeing that he could no longer hide the expectation and curiosity in his eyes, Han Jiao seemed to have whetted his appetite, so Han Jiao decided to make a big move, and said in a deep voice, "Sir, you can do it."

Liu Tong's eyes sparkled when he heard the words, and he restrained his excitement and asked in a trembling voice: "I beg you to express it clearly, my virtuous brother."

Han Jiao took a deep breath and said worryingly: "I have been with the prince a lot these days, so I often see the prince sighing in a low voice with a sad face, saying, 'If I can get a sage, I will cut my heart like Liu Tong did to the sixth brother. , and why worry that no one in the court can reuse it'."

These words were like a thunder, shaking Liu Tong's whole body numb and trembling.

He stared blankly at Han Jiao for a long time before asking in a trembling voice, "Prince Guo...does he say that?"

Han Jiao frowned and said, "Is it possible that I still dare to falsely spread the words of the prince? It's just that these words must not be spread, otherwise you and I will lose the trust of the prince."

"Brother Yu understands!" Liu Tong looked at Han Jiao at this moment, almost as if he was looking at his own brother, and then closed his eyes and said sadly: "Although the prince was a bit playful in the past, he was talented, quick-witted, and rich in military prowess. It’s really destiny, it’s irreversible! For the common people’s sake, Brother Yu also has the heart to be loyal to the hero..."

Han Jiao didn't expect the old man to speak so unpretentiously, and thought he had to put on a show of rejection to show his loyalty to King Yan.

It's too impatient, but it's okay, Han Jiao doesn't have to go around the bush, and straight to the point: "Mr. Han came here just to ask Mr. to come out of the mountain, to benefit the Lord, the country, and the people of the world!"

Liu Tong was so excited that his eyes turned red, he quickly clasped his fists and replied, "What instructions does His Royal Highness have, Liu will never hesitate to die!"

He was so excited at this moment that his heart was beating wildly, but he still didn't understand why Han Jiao came to tell him about this. If the crown prince wanted to reuse him, why didn't he just promote him?

After thinking about it, Liu Tong understood—Han Jiao was always with the prince, and he often heard the prince praise him. Naturally, he guessed that the prince wanted to use him again, so he came to report to him in advance and gave it to him as a favor. There is a care.

Thinking of this, Liu Tong firmly believes in this matter, because the crown prince has no foundation in the court, and what he lacks most is a loyal minister who can be trusted. Although Liu Tong's talent is mediocre, his reputation for loyalty is definitely resounding.

Han Jiao saw that he was completely hooked, and immediately released the second trick.

He looked at Liu Tong and frowned and said: "Although His Royal Highness wants to reuse Mr. Xu, Mr. Yu has been working for Mr. Xu Ge before, and he is the most trusted person of His Highness King Yan. Everyone in the court and the public knows it. If you directly reuse Mr. Lest the Duan Wang party think that His Highness the Crown Prince has joined forces with the King of Yan, or is at the mercy of the King of Yan, and in a hurry, what kind of troubles will arise. Now that His Majesty is still recovering from illness, if there is a sudden turmoil in the court, no one can completely eliminate it. Press down!"

Liu Tong's expression changed, and he was a little disappointed: "This... what should I do?"

Han Jiao stretched out his hand to grab his wrist, and said with a firm expression, "Sir, would you trust me?"

Liu Tong immediately expressed his sincerity: "I would like to form a friendship with my virtuous brother. The road ahead is bumpy, and you and I will take care of each other!"

Han Jiao nodded and said, "Sir, there is only one action to break this predicament."

Liu Tong's lips were dry and impatient: "Please teach me, dear brother!"

"Resign and return to your hometown!" Han Jiao threw out his last big move.

Liu Tong was taken aback, looked at Han Jiao, speechless.

Han Jiao said in a deep voice: "This action can not only show your loyalty to King Yan, but also your determination to sever ties with the two factions. In the next few years, the crown prince will definitely go to the decree again and again to ask you to come out of the mountain, and then you will be ready." Being able to serve the prince wholeheartedly without any party will not arouse the royal party's worries."

Liu Tong's brain turned slowly, and his expression changed from "You kid is trying to trick me" to "It seems to make sense", and finally changed to "This move is a clever idea of ​​retreating into advance"!

After regaining his senses, Liu Tong bowed his hands to Han Jiao with emotion: "I don't know how to repay my kind brother for your kindness."

Han Jiao said solemnly: "Since elder brother agrees to recognize me as a younger brother, the two of us will be able to help each other in the future. If you help me, you are helping me. How about thanking you?"

Liu Tong was so grateful beyond words.

Han Jiao reminded again: "What I said to my elder brother today must not be known to outsiders, otherwise our official careers will be ruined."

Liu Tong is grateful and swears.

Although it is a bit pitiful to see Liu Tong counting the money after being sold, but in the original book, he died directly on the way to distribution.

Although Han Jiao asked him to resign, although it was not entirely to save his life, at least he saved his life incidentally, so there was nothing wrong with it.

As for whether the crown prince will be used again in two years, Han Jiao can think of many ways.

The author has something to say: For the sake of Lao Gong's life, Little Cotton took out his three-inch tongue that had been sealed for a long time!
